Agnikul Announces Fully Reusable Rocket Technology at IAC

In an effort to guarantee that no component of its rockets is completely used up or abandoned, spacetech pioneer Agnikul Cosmos on Monday declared its dedication to 100% rocket reusability.

It was announced at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2025 in Sydney, Australia, coinciding with the theme of the IAC this year, “Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth”. With multiple patents obtained in the US, Europe, and India for Agnikul's proprietary multi-function and multiple-use technologies, Agnikul is heading towards the commercialization of fully reusable launch vehicles.

At the heart of this endeavor is Agnikul's patent for launch vehicles and satellite systems in unison with its semi-cryogenic propellant technology, which offers the capability to enable efficient refurbishment and low-cost re-flights. After a wholly successful, controlled-ascent launch with Agnikul's proprietary autopilot algorithms and software, Agnikul is proceeding with its technical development to validate reusable spaceflight technologies with commercial viability.

“We have consistently designed our vehicles to ensure that affordability and flexibility are never afterthoughts but are built in from day one,” said Srinath Ravichandran, co-founder and chief executive officer of Agnikul Cosmos.

“We are grateful to the critical support from IN-SPACe and ISRO. Their willingness to allow us to explore rocket stage recovery and reuse has empowered us to attempt this feat both from a policy friendliness and tech support stand point,” he added.

One of the primary reasons behind this new endeavor is Agnikul's in-house development capabilities, since each patent and system is made to offer more reasonably priced, customizable launch services while maintaining economic scalability at its heart.
